• 1. What is BLK BMR Skin Bar?

  

  BLK BMR Skin Bar is a science-led Korean facial studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It is run by a microbiologist and licensed esthetician. I focus on glass skin facials, mature skin, hyperpigmentation and skin of color. My approach is Korean clean healing first. We calm and repair the skin barrier before we add anything else.

• 2. What is a Korean facial?

  

  A Korean facial is a gentle, layered skin care ritual. It puts hydration, barrier repair and comfort first. The goal is healthy, calm, glowing skin. It is not a harsh or aggressive treatment. At BLK BMR Skin Bar in Albuquerque, each Korean facial is shaped around your skin on the day you come in.

• 3. What is a glass skin facial?

  

  Glass skin is a Korean beauty look. It means smooth, hydrated, even skin with a soft glow. A glass skin facial builds toward that look with cleansing, gentle exfoliation, hydration and calming care. Glass skin is a goal, and healthy skin comes first. Results vary from person to person.

• 4. Do you offer facials for mature skin?

  

  Yes. Mature skin is my specialty. If your skin feels dry, thin or tired, or you want to focus on hydration and fine lines, we start with barrier repair and hydration. I choose serums and steps that fit the skin in front of me. I do not use one routine for everyone.

• 5. Do you treat skin of color?

  

  Yes. I am comfortable treating people of color, and all skin tones are welcome. Skin with more melanin can be more likely to hold on to dark marks after irritation. Because of that, I choose gentle, barrier-first care and daily sun protection. I will tell you honestly what I recommend and what I do not.

• 6. Can you help with hyperpigmentation and melasma?

  

  I can help with dark spots and uneven tone using gentle facials, brightening ingredients chosen for your skin, and sun protection. Melasma is a complex condition and it can come back. I will talk with you about what to expect before we start. Results vary and I do not promise a cure.

• 7. What services do you offer at BLK BMR Skin Bar?

  

  Services include oxygen infusion facials, nano fusion, hydrodiamond facials, electroporation, ultrasonic spatula, lymphatic drainage massage, lymphatic cupping, radiofrequency, extractions, enzyme peels, dermaplaning, peels, red light and a high-frequency wand for acne. I also make customized serums with ingredients such as tranexamic acid, peptides, cica, azelaic acid and niacinamide. Back-acne facials are available too. See the booking page for the current menu.

• 8. Is there a gentle alternative to harsh or aggressive facials?

  

  Yes. My approach is the opposite of harsh. I start with healing and hydration, and I add one step at a time. If your skin is sensitive, reactive or mature, this is a good place to start.

• 9. Do I need a consultation before my first appointment?

  

  Yes. New clients have a consultation before the appointment. This lets me learn about your skin, your goals and your history before I plan your treatment.

• 10. Do new clients pay a deposit?

  

  Yes. New clients place a deposit when they book. The deposit is applied toward your service.

• 11. How do I book a facial in Albuquerque?

• 13. How should I care for my skin after a facial?

  

  Follow the home care steps I give you. Wear sunscreen every day. Keep your routine simple and gentle, and add one new product at a time.
